Issue 2838: Auto-update change page with new comments/flags
Status:  Released
Owner: ----
Closed:  Feb 2015
Reported by jdah...@gmail.com, Aug 18, 2014
Gerrit should show new comments added to an issue without the need to reload the change, much like Gmail does when a new email message arrives.

Gerrit is often used with a continuous integration system like Jenkins, for smaller projects the verification step will be pretty quick; < 30 seconds. Going to an issue before the verification has started/finished will not show the updated flags unless a manual reload has been issued.

This applies to flags and new revisions of the changeset as well.


Affected Version:

2.9

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Submit a new change to a Gerrit project
2. Go to the change page
3. Wait for an external event to happen (new comment, flag change etc)
4. Change is no longer up to date

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I see the old state instead of the current.


Please provide any additional information below.
